20001106: inetd configuration setup on Linux 7.0

Xandy,

Well, the Linux boys have done it again!  It looks like RedHat 7.0 contains
an entirely new way of configuring inetd.  There is no longer a file
called /etc/inetd.conf.  It appears to have been replaced by 'xinetd'
and the xinet.d directory.  The McIDAS ADDE installation process modifies
/etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services.  Given that /etc/inetd.conf no longer
exists in 7.0, I need to update the ADDE installation process to account
for the changes in 7.0.

Could you research how one goes about adding support for a service in
the new Linux world and give me a quick rundown?  I would be most 
appreciative!
